If you obtained Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, then you will have the ScanSnap software already installed (but not working).

Disconnect or turn off your ScanSnap scanner. Software update for the fi-5110exo2Īs you can see above, the last update made available for the fi-5110exo2 is for Windows 7. Download it anyway and make a note of the version of Windows as you’ll need to know that when entering compatibility mode settings.

INSTALL SCANSNAP DRIVER DRIVERS

Download SoftwareĪll drivers and software are available directly from the Software Downloads section of the Fujitsu website, organized by model number. It just goes to show that Fujitsu can support older ScanSnap devices on Windows 10, but simply choose not to do so in order to encourage people to buy new hardware. So, before proceeding with the instructions below I would advise downloading the latest version of the ScanSnap iX500 software from the Software Downloads section of the Fujitsu website and giving it a go yourself. So I decided to give it a go for my fi-5110ex02 and I’m pleased to report that it worked perfectly. However, before proceeding – I noticed a comment from Chris Morse that said he managed to get his S510 working perfectly using the software for the ScanSnap iX500, which is fully supported on Windows 10. However, the ScanSnap range isn’t cheap and you can avoid spending a large sum by utilizing Compatibility Mode built into Windows to get your older scanner working with the latest versions of Windows.Ī recent windows update caused issues with my 11-year old ScanSnap fi-5110ex02 – when the scanner was powered on, the ScanSnap Manager program could not detect the scanner and as a result I couldn’t scan anything at all. “ Oh well“, I though, time to re-install the software using the guide below that I originally wrote back in 2012. A number of older ScanSnap scanners released by Fujitsu are no longer supported and the official line from Fujitsu is to buy new hardware.
